And that's how I feel about you. Are we at an impasse?

Apparently so. It is our choice to give in to the inner desires in a selfish way. A capacity that children lack.

I heartedly disagree. Children, especially newborns, have a great capacity for selfishness.

Children, especially newborns, have a great capacity for selfishness.

A child is born, draws a single breath and dies. Where have the exhibited selfishness?

The key word is "choice," the learned exercise of the will.

Children lack that, that's why we don't imprison them for stealing from fellow kids.

“Children, especially newborns, have a great capacity for selfishness”.

Newborns are entirely helpless and must depend on others to provide for their every need. How can that be considered selfishness?.

And as for children, in general; they are the ones Our Lord wanted to come unto Him. They are the ones Our Lord used as examples of what we are to become in our relationship with Him

How easy it is to forget.

“We are God’s children now. What we will become is not yet known”.
